Hellooooooooo Who do you do your JKD with?

Well? Did we win? Huh? Huh? Did we? Huh?

Hey woa hang on a moment..... This is a martial arts tournament - it's not life & death! It's MUCH more important that that! :lol:

Cool site - next time some punk with a broken bottle comes at me outside the chippy on a sturday night that will prove most useful.

I've noticed a distinct difference in how people hold a nunchaku. Twirly fancy dancy types tend to hold them high up near the chain - makes spinning them a lot easier & faster - and also robs you of about 1/3rd of the weapons range. Take note of where Bruce Lee grips his in ETD - then compare to the modern "twirly" way - which renders the weapon merely an accessory to a dance. _________________ YODA KarateForums Sempai 2nd Degree Black Belt : Doce Pares Eskrima https://www.docepares.co.uk Qualified Instructor : JKD Concepts https://www.jkdc.co.uk Qualified Fitness Instructor (Weights, CV, Circuit, Kinesiology) [ This Message was edited by: YODA on 2002-04-26 12:20 ]

On the subject of "Ancient Martial Ways" - do you know anyone in the North West that teaches Iaido?

Pleeeeese tell me this is a joke!

Hey BraveDave Where in th UK are you and who do you train Muay Thai with?

Lots of ways to take someones back - either they give it due to strikes or you get it out of your control of the positional game. I'll post some of the latter later

I didn't find it too hard to be honest - I have a pretty broad MA experience though. Some ambiguous question though so I gave an explanation where I felt it needed one. Probably got loads wrong

Well said - - - very well said

I have the Immortal freestanding plastic one - I've experienced NO disadvantages over a wooden or fixed one - and many advantages - I love it

Low carb is the way to go - zero carb or near zero as in the Atkins diet is just plain dumb.

I know very little about Kobudo other than the fact that what I have seen is largely kata & pre-arranged driling based, whereas Eskrima includes sparring at a variety of contact levels from light to full - with & without protective gear. In the system of Eskrima that I teach - we use the following weapons... Single stick (28") Double stick Stick & dagger Dagger Single sword Double sword Sword & Dagger Sword & Shield Long stick (2 handed - 40") Long sword (2 handed - 40") Staff (60") Spear (60")

Correct - but you could have made it easier by saying so?

No problem - watch this space, I'll be posting some of my own soon

Hi peeps Anyone tried the Paleolithic Diet? Basically it's about eating the way our ancestors ate - before we got hooked on high carb cereals & processed junk. Here's a few links to whet your appetites http://www.nutritionaustralia.org/Food_Facts/FAQ/Paleolithic_diet.asp http://www.paleodiet.com/ http://danjohn.org/tiff_files/frame.html

Howdy & welcome Yes - we did wind each other up a little as a starter - but we soon got past that

Hi Who are the instuctors there & what is their lineage?

You wish ......

Hi there That's a familiar sounding mix of arts - where do you train?

Hmmmmmmmmm..... Wing Chun vs Aikido - about a different as you can get. Why not study both?
